I saw the code for that appender (thanks Open Source) and I noticed that if the socket is not connected when a new message comes, the log message is lost. There are any appender out there that implements queue? We currently have a logging system, home made. Very simple, it only sends a string message, the application ID and the client IP address, but it has this queue to prevent losing any message. My boss, that is fighting against the log4j idea told me that if we don't have a queue, we will keep using the same old logging system (really old, maybe 6 years old!!).
If there are no Appender that implements a queue, I will have to write one for out application. Thanks, Gui
